Sink repair in Street End, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and an original basin worth saving, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Your questions about sink repair in Street End
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
